It is an object to provide a wireless base station and a terminal equipment capable of shortening the processing time by not requiring the detection of the spatial correlation coefficient, which is required in general technology, and simplifying the selection process for terminal equipments to be connected to each other in a wireless base station that performs spatial multiplexing transmission to a plurality of terminal equipments and a terminal equipment responding for spatial multiplexing transmission.A terminal equipment 12 includes an interference cancellation capability information data maintaining section 20 that maintains interference cancellation capability information data indicating the interference cancellation capability of the terminal equipment 12 and signals the interference cancellation capability information data to a wireless base station 1. The wireless base station 1 includes a control signal extracting unit 3 and a spatial multiplexing controller 4, and the spatial multiplexing controller 4 selects one or more terminal equipments 12 for spatial multiplexing connection on the basis of the interference cancellation capability information data extracted from a reception signal from the terminal equipment 12.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A terminal equipment which performs communication with a wireless base station controlling other terminal equipments for spatial multiplexing connection by using interference cancellation capability information included in reception signals from the other terminal equipments, the terminal equipment comprising: an interference cancellation capability information data maintaining unit which maintains interference cancellation capability information data indicating capabilities for cancelling, by the terminal equipment, interference suffered by the terminal equipment due to communication from the base station device to other terminal equipments; a transmission unit which transmits the interference cancellation capability information data of the terminal equipment to the wireless base station device; a reception unit which receives a transmission signal that was transmitted from the wireless base station by a spatial multiplexing connection to the terminal equipment and the other terminal equipments that were selected by the wireless station based on the interference cancellation capability information data; wherein the interference cancellation capability information data is the number of interference signals which can be cancelled by the terminal equipment, and is indicated by a degree of antenna, and the degree of freedom of antenna is determined based on a quantity of antennas included by the terminal equipment; and wherein the selected other terminal equipments have higher degree of freedom of antenna than that of the terminal equipment.
2. The terminal equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the other terminal equipments are terminals selected from a terminal equipment group that is grouped based on the interference cancellation capability information data.
3. The terminal equipment according to claim 1 , the selected other terminal equipments and the terminal equipment are respectively assigned with different numbers of spatial streams.
